And yet one more award for Candace Parker and Tim Tebow.
The SEC announced Wednesday that Tennessee’s Parker and Florida’s Tebow are the Roy F. Kramer SEC Athletes of the Year for 2007-08.
Parker, who led the Lady Vols to a second consecutive NCAA basketball title, captured most of the national player of the year awards in her sport.
Tebow became the first sophomore to win the Heisman Trophy, college football’s top award.
Chris Lofton was UT’s nominee for the male athlete award.
Parker’s honor is the second in a row for Tennessee women. Softball star Monica Abbott claimed the award last year, along with Vanderbilt baseball pitcher David Price.
Other UT athletes to win the SEC’s top honor are Chamique Holdsclaw (1998 and 1999); Peyton Manning (1998); Todd Helton (1995); Daedra Charles (1991); Bridgette Gordon (1989); Larry Seivers (1977).
